Berlusconi

Jonah Goldberg on Berlusconi's Nazi comment:

As far as I can tell, what Berlusconi said was stupid. But as several readers have commented, it's pretty hard not to notice the contrast in outrage when you compare this episode to when the German Cabinet minister compared Bush to Hitler. Back then most of "enlightened" Europe thought Americans overreacted when Bush was compared to a genocidal murderer. What was the big deal? they kept asking.
